[chenrezig]

Lynda Bellingham has been described as "brave, beautiful, brilliant, funny and fabulous" at her funeral, by her friend and TV star Gyles Brandreth.

A service for the 66-year-old was held at St Bartholomew's Church in Somerset.

Best known for her long-running role as a mum in the Oxo TV adverts, she had battled colon cancer since being diagnosed in July 2013.

Other guests included Loose Women colleagues Jane McDonald, Kate Thornton and Andrea McLean.
